Hello folks. I am a new member here (station 3205, US/Colorado/Summit-county). I have been operating my station for just a few days. There are lots of things I don't know, so I apologize if this is a dumb question. I clicked around and found LightningMaps.org and logged in and clicked through America and Statistics and Network. This brought me to Lightning Network Statistics for a period of one hour. The "Sum of strokes" was 5680 and the "Sum of Signals" was 445229. I clicked on the "Efficiency" column header to sort it so that the most efficient station was listed first, working down to the least efficient station. Here is a screen shot.
And now the first of two things that astonished me. My station 3205 (US/Colorado/Summit-county) was ranked highest for "Efficiency"!? My station was listed with a signals per hour count of 21740 and with a strokes per hour count of 2508. And this yields an efficiency score of 22.6%. And this was the highest-ranking station in the report.
How can it possibly be that my station, just a few days old, would be the highest ranking station in the report?
Maybe this is somehow tied to the fact that when I was logged in, it somehow focused on my station? Maybe when a different person logs in, they see a different station showing up as most efficient?
Turning to the second of two things that astonished me. There are about 158 active stations in the United States. I am baffled to see that nearly all of the stations in the report have an efficiency of zero. How can it possibly be that only about 6 of the stations in the US have a nonzero efficiency?
